Red Rake Gaming, a premium online casino content provider, has announced that it has obtained its provisional online casino supplier license in Michigan. This marks the company’s second license in the US, following the successful acquisition of its Pennsylvania license earlier this year.

The new license in Michigan represents a significant milestone for Red Rake Gaming as it continues to expand its footprint in the burgeoning US online gaming market.

Nick Barr, Managing Director for Red Rake Gaming Malta, said: “We are delighted to have obtained our second US license in Michigan, which is a key market in our strategic expansion plans. The response to our games in Pennsylvania has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to bringing our engaging and feature-rich content to players in Michigan. Our team is committed to delivering a top-tier gaming experience that aligns with the expectations of the Michigan Gaming Control Board and the players.”

Red Rake Gaming is renowned for its wide array of high-quality games, including fan-favorites such as Million 7, The Asp of Cleopatra, and Secrets of the Temple. The company’s commitment to innovation, player engagement, and responsible gaming has earned it a stellar reputation in various regulated markets around the globe.

Registered online bookmaker VicBet has been fined $130,000 for 2 breaches of its customer care obligations.

Announcing the fine, Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) CEO Annette Kimmitt AM reminded the gambling industry of the potential for people to experience severe harm when rules are not followed.

“Breaches can have serious consequences, not only in terms of punitive actions against the companies we catch out, but for people whose lives are affected by this behaviour,” Ms Kimmitt said.

“It is an egregious betrayal of trust, for example, to continue to send marketing materials to a person who has self-excluded from a gambling venue or closed a betting account.”

The VGCCC’s investigations into complaints about VicBet found the bookmaker had:

• offered and provided a $1,800 bonus bet to a customer after they asked for their betting account to be closed in September 2022. VicBet was fined $50,000.

• repeatedly sent gambling promotional material to a customer after they permanently self-excluded from VicBet in March 2020. The penalty was an $80,000 fine.

It is an offence for a bookmaker to encourage or offer any credit, voucher or reward, or other benefit to induce an account holder to keep an account open after they have requested its closure.

Similarly, sending correspondence or promotional material to customers who have self-excluded contravenes the Victorian Bookmakers’ Association Code of Conduct.

“On these occasions, VicBet failed to live up to both its legal and social licences to operate, which include minimising the risk of harm to customers,” Ms Kimmitt said.

“Industry must respect the wishes of people who decide to have a break from, or quit, gambling. This means taking all reasonable steps to enforce harm prevention initiatives that customers commit themselves to, such as self-exclusion programs.”

VicBet was given the opportunity to “show cause” as to why disciplinary action should not be taken. Submissions from its legal representative were considered prior to a determination being made.
